Haeundae salt bread café with two iced americanos: Low & Sweet

Hi, it's Cherry 🩵

I ended up here naturally while walking near Haeundae Station. It's a Haeundae bakery I'd noticed before whenever I passed through this neighborhood, and this time I finally got the chance to stop by properly. It's also known, at least among those in the know, as a Haeundae favorite for salt bread, so I was extra curious.

Where is Low & Sweet Bakery, and is there parking?

Low & Sweet Bakery is 244m — under a 5-minute walk — from Exit 4 of Haeundae Station. It's open daily from 08:00 to 20:00, with last order at 19:30.

You can park free at the dedicated Low & Sweet spots #41 and #42 right in front of the café, and if those are full, there's a paid public parking lot near the roastery (close to Haeundae subway station). If you're taking public transit, it's within a 5-minute walk of Haeundae light rail station, so access is pretty convenient.

Dogs are welcome too — you can sit with your pet on the bench out front or on the side/rear terrace, worth noting. There's also a kids' menu (milk, vanilla milk) for younger visitors, so it seemed like an easy spot to bring the whole family.

The white building and glass display case on Haeri-dan-gil

The exterior alone captures the vibe of this alley. The white-toned building has a "RAW & SWEET" sign, and through the ground-floor glass windows you can just catch a glimpse of the bakery display case — the kind of thing that catches your eye even if you're just passing by. There's a bench out front, handy for a short wait if there's a line, and the second floor has an awning that reads "BAKERY" along with hanging planters, giving the whole building a cohesive look. It has that cute, charming feel typical of Haeri-dan-gil cafés.

Indoor seats and the outdoor terrace at Low & Sweet Bakery

Walk in and the first things you notice are the wooden counter and a vintage espresso machine.

White tile walls paired with oak-toned furniture give it a cozy yet tidy feel.

A letterboard reading "ALL SOULS WELCOME" sums up the mood of the place at a glance.

On a shelf beside the counter, there's a fun little display of Low & Sweet branded goods — tumblers, T-shirts, drip-bag coffee.

Further in, wooden tables and chairs continue, and at the back there's a separate leafy outdoor terrace.

Mint-colored metal chairs and marble tables sit surrounded by trees and potted plants — on a nice day, it looked like a great spot to relax outside. True to its reputation as a Haeri-dan-gil coffee favorite, the smell of roasted beans drifted gently through the whole café.

Low & Sweet Bakery menu and prices

The bakery items are all baked fresh every morning, apparently. For anyone hunting Haeundae desserts, the display was a treat for the eyes — split roughly into two trays, one holding cookies, the

other holding financiers, croissants, and tarts. Going by the menu board:

• Plain financier 3.2 / Chocolate financier 3.4 / Gorgonzola financier 3.5 (new) / Fig cream cheese financier 3.4 / Pecan caramel financier 3.4
• Canelé 3.6, Cookie 4.8, Pound cake 5.5
• Salt bread 3.4, Croissant 4.6, Pain au chocolat 5.2
• Blueberry Danish 5.0, Pistachio swirl 5.5
• Egg tart 3.8, Whole pound cake 27, Egg tart set 15

That's how varied the lineup was. All prices are in thousand-won units (e.g. 3.2 = ₩3,200), which made the math easy. The gorgonzola financier in particular is a new item, described as combining blue cheese aroma with honey sweetness and a savory hit of salt — I definitely want to try it next time.

How do the salt bread and egg tart taste with two iced americanos?

This time I picked the salt bread — the one famous as a Haeundae favorite — along with the egg tart and two iced coffees. The salt bread was crisp outside with a layered, flaky interior, carrying a deep salty flavor that kept me reaching for more. Coarse salt crystals were dotted across the surface, so every bite had that salty pop. The egg tart is Portuguese-style, with a deeply charred top; the custard was rich yet smooth to eat, with a subtle caramel aroma. If you're looking for a Haeundae bakery, I'd say these two items are must-tries.

The iced americano came packed with ice, great for a hot day, with a faint, gentle oolong-like note. Their drinks use batch-brewed coffee from their house-roasted Choti blend and Mulatu blend.

Seeing the bags of beans lined up neatly on the shelf, you could really feel their pride in doing their own roasting.

Drinks were priced at: espresso 5.0 / americano 5.5 / cortado 6.0 / cappuccino 6.3 / latte 6.3 / vanilla bean latte 6.8 / homemade lemonade 6.8 / matcha latte 6.8 / Belloq tea 6.8.

Final verdict on Low & Sweet Bakery
